|
... this part of historic Route 66 went through lava fields from which samples were,
of course, collected... some pieces were left - TOO large to
pick up, had critters under them, etc...
|
|
Note: I went down this very piece of highway long about mid-summer of 1971, at night, before
I40 existed, in a 1959 Cadillac towing a trailer that was 7'10" wide,
and, at EVERY gully's bridge (all of which were narrow!) I met an 18-wheeler - just
aimed at the center of my lane and crossed my fingers... apparently that worked...
